She married JD Vance, so I'm gonna have to agree with him on this one.
No one should ever marry a woman with the poor taste to marry JD Vance—including JD Vance!
He is just laying the groundwork to get rid of current wife and start bonking Kirk’s wife. I give it 2 months.
Recently saw a before the election and current pictures of them side by side. They both looked like they've been through 15 years these past few months.
Yup, the hate takes its toll.
In far-right group chats and forums, they adore Vance — but they can’t stand that he’s married to a brown woman.
Vance is deeply online; he’s fully aware that his family stands in the way of his dream to become MAGA’s chosen heir.
This is the same man who once called Trump an “American Hitler,” only to later accept the role of his vice president.
To me, this statement makes one thing clear: he’s setting the stage to divorce his wife and abandon his children, all under the convenient guise of religious conviction.
Maybe.... but if they divorce does that mean she can be compelled to testify against him in eventual criminal proceedings? That might be a road he can't go down.
Calling it.
Before his run for presidency he'll end up with Neck Hole's widow to try to increase his chances.
Why do you think she wore leather pants to see him?
He grabbed her ass
Are people surprised by this? Christians think anyone that knows if jesus but doesn't believe is going to hell.
But what about JD not listening to the Bible?
A Christian considering marriage has some clear guidance in 2 Corinthians 6:14, which says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”
Good ole Two Corinthians.
Seriously, how can she touch him?
What makes you think that she does?
Probably like Melania is as much a narcissist as Trump, Usha is as much sociopath as JD Vance.
The really weird thing is how JD Vance imagines he would ever go to heaven?
Why do you assume she's not in on all of this rhetoric bullshit attempt to appeal to the same part of the base who hate him because of who he married?
To what end? She’s not old enough that such levels of racism and violence won’t end in her getting wrecked down the line.
There's some minorities that think that being against other minorities, themselves, gets them a pass. Member of the Leopards Eating Faces party
That's because historically it has given them a pass. The colonial era has countless examples of this. Gandhi was "one of the good ones" so the British were constantly trying to convert him to Christianity. He was quite racist while he was being educated as a young barrister in South Africa, adopting the Western worldview that white people were civilized and black people were backwards.
His views evolved over time and he became overtly anti-racist as he grew older. But associating himself with whiteness played a significant role in the opportunities he had in life and is part of why he was able to have so much influence later on.
Martin Luther King Jr. stayed in Gandhi's bedroom during his visit to India in 1959. He wanted to connect deeply with Gandhi's legacy and principles of non-violence, feeling a spiritual connection in the space where Gandhi had once lived and worked.
If Gandhi had converted to Christianity, he wouldn't have been one of the most effectual civil rights activists of our time and one of MLK's major inspirations would have been lost, which likely would have impacted civil rights in the US.
So while I see what you're saying, I'm not surprised that people think this approach will give them a leg up. It speaks to deeper issues in the world that have yet to be addressed.
I have it on my Bingo card that he will dump her in the post-Trump power struggle in order to improve his standing with the MAGA base. Maybe pick Erika Kirk instead. That would be a MAGA dream team …
Id say so. (goes to straight to the bit that's relevant. No need to gross yourself out any more than necessary.)(this from the last day or so.)
(excuse me while I bleach out my eyes.)
Oh he thinks SHE is the bad one in the relationship? Anyone want to tell him?
You're right, JD, your true wife awaits you in heaven.
naturally. she married a couchfucking hellspawn.

James Donald Bowman is the spawn of an abusive addict and he's traded in for cycling for another abusive cunt named Donald.
I'll forget do my best to remind everyone of his true name.
Once again a MAGAt tries to make the distinction between legal and illegal immigration (claiming his wife is one of the good ones). Ignoring the fact that the US immigration system is designed to make that distinction extremely vague (to get cheap laborers without rights). While their rhetoric always, always makes it sound like "immigrant" and "illegal" are synonyms. And ICE does not seem to make that distinction either.
She's a pick me. That's why.
He wants her to be Christian.
He wants her to be a cushion.
No worries vance. Ill take good care of her.
